It often seems like insincere virtue signaling.

    With how you put it, it sounds like the problem wasn’t Kirk being assassinated. It’s that there weren’t more politically motivated deaths in a similar time frame, otherwise known as an “uprising” that would have normalized it.

    I think you’re on to something.

      Yeah, I’d support a movement led by someone I agree with that would set back the oppression by more than a few months. (“agree with” would include minimizing innocent casualties and stuff.) Though Kirk would be one of the weirdest targets, so they better have a good explanation for the efficacy.
